Read whatever, whenever, however.
It’s (almost) Monday as I write this and I have new tea and new books. It’s all good. Lonely in Longreach by Eva Scott arrived thanks to Harlequin. In this rural town, two teenagers are playing matchmaker before they move to the city for university. Levi’s dad is a farmer with no time for love.... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! The weather is attempting to get warmer and the flowers are starting to blossom. Which means a lot of sneezing… Unfortunately I didn’t get to any bookshops last week, but the postie has been very, very kind with deliveries this week. Flying the Nest by Rachael Johns (available 29th October) arrived thanks to... Continue Reading →
A good week for mail! (Well, most of these were received on the same day, but it was still fun!) Not shown is my most prized possession of 2020 - The Killers’ new album, Imploding the Mirage. Worth checking out as it is pure joy. Bluebird by Malcolm Knox (available 1st September) arrived thanks to... Continue Reading →
Another month rolls around. I'm really not sure what's happened with the mail here, but I'm not getting any parcels (despite them being sent). So if you've sent me a book over the last month via standard post, it's not here yet. I'm sorry. I did receive two other books via courier and bought one:... Continue Reading →
I've been doing a lot of moving of books around the house due to painting and wow, they can be a great workout. I've rediscovered a lot of fantastic ones to read, but which one first?

Welcome to the Home Zone. It's grey and rainy today so staying inside is pretty easy. Some of my online book orders are starting to arrive, but I think the local parcel postie is very busy as I spotted him delivering on Sunday. Here's what arrived this week, and don't forget to stay home (even... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to the new abnormal. Just a couple of months ago I would have been referring to the new album from The Strokes. Please STAY HOME and save lives. Listen to the experts. I got some books in the post this week, including some comfort reads (bottom row). Thank you to those working... Continue Reading →
A very different world this week. I haven't done a lot of reading because I've been out stalking toilet paper for sale for older folk but I think that will change. Everything I have planned has been cancelled, bar one event (which I'm expecting that will be cancelled today). My five-month holiday has turned out... Continue Reading →
In brief: Elizabeth Quinn and her brother Michael are pillars of the town of Maitland. When Elizabeth becomes unwell at an exhibition, their ward Jane knows something isn't right. What was it that caused Elizabeth to fall back into the past? The good: Lovely historical story with added mystery. The not-so-good: Some of the characters... Continue Reading →
